CLOSED FOR 2018 SEASON
MUSICAL INTERPRETATION OF BLACK FRIDAY
It will soon be the anniversary of the Great Fishing Disaster – Black Friday. It is 137 years since the fishing boats from the Berwickshire coast went out to sea on 14th October 1881. Many did not return. We have a presentation by Eyemouth High School pupils and the electric voice theatre which tells the story of the storm in song and music, interpreted from the meteorological data of that day.
NEW STOCK IN GIFT SHOP
We now have a great range in our gift shop. Lots of toys and games to keep the children and adults occupied! Cards and postcards, books, keyrings, nautical gifts, paperweights and much, much more! Come in and have look. Perfect for presents!
NEW EXHIBITS
We have added to our collection of skeletons. Come in and guess what they are!
FISH TANK
Our fish tank, which replicates life in a local rockpool, is now well established. We have a great variety of creatures! Here are some of them!
NOW OPEN FOR 2018
We opened our doors for the season at the end of March with our usual opening hours 10am -5pm, Monday – Sunday.
We have lots for you to see in 2018 including the return of our fish tank (with rock pool wildlife) and some different exhibits. We also have lots of new ranges in our shop, including toys, nicknacks and quality souvenirs. We look forward to seeing you!
NEW STOCK IN THE GIFT SHOP
This year we have some beautiful new ranges in the gift shop.
We have ceramics and textiles from Hannah Turner which are designed and made in Britain with an environmental ethos.
We also have a range of paperweights from Hafod Grange in Wales. These are made from dried botanical specimens such as blooms and seed heads embedded in clear polyester resin. They are cast in a globe shape which allows the specimen to be seen in its beauty from all angles, creating a crystal clear effect.
We have a variety of postcards, cards, magnets and books too as well as childrens’ toys and St Abbs lifeboat stock. And don’t forget our bespoke prints and magnets of St Abbs by Eilidh Muldoon and Andy Tuohy!
